#in conclusion don't worry about it

[uncanny-tranny]

Me in 2016: You know, saying things like "trans rights are human rights" doesn't necessarily mean that person is safe around trans people. In fact, sometimes people still have unchecked bias against trans people, and that can be clouded by them saying that trans rights are human rights. It can prevent them from fully looking into their own preconceptions about cissexism and trans people.

Me in 2023: Oh, thank gd this person said "trans rights are human rights," I was worried they also abhorred trans people

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #you know i still kind of agree with the 2016 statement but that comes with the caveat that at least they're fucking saying that... #....our rights are human rights. so long as their actions also reflect that i have way less of a problem with that statement than before #but it's crazy just how awful it's gotten in some ways #bruh i was worried a hisotry youtuber i somewhat liked was an anti-woke chud... #..and then i was proven wrong when he blatently posted support for trans people so good for him!! always happy to be proven wrong (genuine) #can statements like TRAHR be used disingenuously to put a false sense of secutity in them? yes sure... but also... #...don't immediately jump to that conclusion *unless* they have shown their ass about it #note that when i say 'anti-woke' i mean how conservatives belolieve woke means things they don't like #NOT the meaning of woke that originated in Black spaces and AA(V)E #hopefully that clears any confusion?

While I'm on the subject of plotting and Doctor Who, you know who was great at plot? Steven Moffat. The man is the master of the well-constructed plot, the shorter the story, the better. A multi-series show can go off the rails as he trails off in a million different directions. A full series of a show can have its rough patches and wind up unbalanced. But an individual episode? A masterpiece you could use to teach writing courses. A 4-8 minute minisode? One of the most beautifully constructed gems you've ever seen in your life. His plots are full of intricate internal logic and drawn from character and can highlight some of the loveliest themes because they're built on such a strong framework.

I think a big reason he's so good at plot is that he's a comedy writer. Comedy is nothing but set-up and payoff. Set up a situation. Pay it off in a surprising way. And the link between those two is character. If you set up that Character A has a certain personality trait, then when they encounter a new situation, you have them act according to that personality trait, and all sorts of funny things can result. The payoff makes sense because it was set up. That's also the gift of the running gag. If you mention something in the early part of the story, you can pass over it as useless information. Or as a minor joke that's over now. But at the end of the story, that seemingly minor piece can come back and resolve the whole thing, and it works because it was set up.

A great example of joke-turned-plot is "The Girl in the Fireplace." Plot: A spaceship is linked via a portal in time to 1700s France. The Doctor wanders back and forth between the past and the future. Later on, we see that a horse from the past has also wandered through the portal, and is now on the spaceship. Haha, silly gag, horse on a spaceship, good joke. But later, the portal closes, and the Doctor's trapped on the spaceship while people in the past are going to die. If only he had something large enough to break through. Surprise! He bursts through the barrier on a horse! The same horse from the gag! The joke was the setup for a plot payoff! And there's tons of that kind of thing in his work, plot hidden in jokes and jokes secretly building plot, and lots of plots that aren't about the jokes but always follow that rule of set-up and payoff.

There's just something so satisfying about a puzzle whose pieces all fit together. About a story that's well balanced. Character's great--and he's great at them--but there's something extra special about seeing them in a masterfully constructed plot. And it's been a long time since I've come across a plot that was as satisfying as his could be.

#other other random thought of the day #adventures in writing #steven moffat #this is actually two random thoughts of the day put together #i was going to do a separate post about how sitcoms teach you plot because of set up and payoff #but it wound up weaving in here #but i'll mention in the tags since this also sparked those thoughts #that corner gas has beautifully constructed plots #absurd ones? yes #but built on character and relying on those wonderful setups and payoffs #sitcoms are plot built from character and they're ideal for a really well-constructed plot #they don't have to worry about maintaining a sense of gravitas or drama #you can just take the absurdity to its logical conclusion #which means you can get absurd farce built on air-tight logic #and you rarely get that in drama #also? #other moffat thing that sparked this post? #those series 6 minisodes are divine #two in particular #that one where he talks to amy about changing the past may be the best thing he's ever written #and the day of the doctor minisode? #i have gone on at length about its layers and i could go on longer #it condenses the usual companion intro into two minutes #two! #establishes a character and makes total sense #*while* layering in dialogue that both works in context *and* winks at all the audience expectations around the airing of the minisode #'i'm a doctor. but probably not the one you were expecting' #that is GENIUS right there people! #anyhow we got tag limits now so i'll stop

in the light of the recent situation or whatever you want to call it with mingi and that anime, i'm pausing my writing for him for at least a little bit. i understand a lot of people think his name has been "cleared" on this topic, but after doing my own research and trying to understand the fancall myself, i'm deciding to air on the side of caution. unless you have helpful and creditable information or want to have a civil/productive convo about it, let's not talk about it because i don't have the emotional space for anything that's not civil and willing to come to an understanding of my point of view (as i want to be civil and am willing to understand other people's points of view). some more detail in the tags :)

#and if you really want to know exactly my thoughts and how i came to this conclusion please dm me #i have a giant long post about it written up #but i don't really find it necessary to share unless someone is curious about my decision and how i got here #note the word curious--not critical :) #tbh this is for my own peace of mind because i'm still unsure about things even after all i've read/heard/seen #and i'd rather not worry about it when trying to write things that are just silly goofy and literally 100% for funsies #if you don't agree with that for whatever reason #that's okay #again if you're up for civil conversation i totally am too!

Aro culture is getting pissed off at the fact that the person you want to be with in a queerplatonic way cannot reciprocate properly and prioritizes their romantic relationship with some girl instead

honestly had to debate if i wanted to post this.

it is never the fault of another for not reciprocating feelings. additionally, "some girl" is... hm. i do not like blaming someone for someone else being attracted to them.

if you are upset, angry, grieving what could have been - please name those feelings and own them. "I feel upset that a person I am attracted to is not mutually attracted to me. This is not their fault. Additionally, it is no one's fault for my qp interest having a romantic interest in someone else. I cannot control what others feel, nor what I feel, but I can chose how I respond to these emotions. I can respect that this person is not attracted to me, the same way I would like someone to respond to me if they were romantically attracted to me and I did not reciprocate this. I will find ways to cope with my upset, such as ripping paper, writing down my feelings, and doing things I enjoy."

i understand that this probably sucked, but i strongly suggest not working through negative emotions by sending an angry submission to a public blog. there's a difference between venting that a situation feels like it's stacked against you and blaming others for how they feel. this crosses that line.

Is this a sideblog by chance?

Indeed it is. It used to be used as a primary blog, and I did intend to use it with at least some purpose even after I shifted my attention, but now it's just kinda mindless spam/things I find cool but don't have the spoons or words to give more attention to.

i’m proud of the fact that i’ve been confused for a trans woman and a trans man

#im not even close to androgynous so thats kinda amazing #if i'm anything other than a cis woman then i'm somewhere on the nonbinary spectrum #or as i've put it: i'm kinda gender weird/wobbly/fucky #like cis girl in a ehhhh sure kinda way #its a neurodivergent thing don't worry about it #anyways! #i keep getting this thing where idiots think im a thing because i'm supportive of said thing a lot #because compassion is an alien concept to bigots #i recall a convo where somebody messaged me saying im not queer because i'm ace #(i'm not ace) #and when i told them i'm bi they said ''well you're a traitor to the LGBT community then'' #hm. caring for members of our community. typical traitor behaviour #so yeah i've been confused for a trans woman in the past for being supportive of trans women #and also having broad shoulders and big feet #and i've gotten confused for a trans man because well #when people see a cis girl casually talk about having gender weird feelings that can be an easy conclusion to come to #whatever is going on with me i'm not a guy. but thank you! #oh also apparently i write trans man dysphoria with such pin point accuracy that trans men have assumed i was a trans man too #which is such a compliment! #as both an activist and a writer - wow!

seeing some controversy over Lando and him racing this weekend. Lando is an adult, he knows when he can and can't race and if he feels up to it then that's his decision. Yes it's Monaco that requires a lot of focus and concentration but he's probably already thought about that. If McLaren think it's too risky for him to race, they won't let him and they will not force him to even if he is still not right and risk his health (andreas literally said this last week).

if Lando chooses to race this weekend which seems likely, don't start screaming and shouting at McLaren because they have probably taken every step necessary to make sure he is okay to race and Lando himself wouldn't risk putting himself or anyone else in danger by racing when he isn't fit enough, especially in monaco. Him potentially not doing media duties (we'll have to see tomorrow what happens there) gives him more time to rest and be ready for the sessions and is probably precautionary to make sure he can take part.

when it comes to the reserve driver scenario, Oscar will not be their first option. Alpine offered him to McLaren but McLaren kindly said thank you and never mentioned it again. they have their own agreement with Mercedes which would be the safest bet but i don't see this being the route this weekend goes.

as a whole, don't think you know more than the doctors that have been keeping an eye on him and most likely cleared him to race. if there was a risk to him taking part this weekend, he wouldn't be allowed in the car ... simple as that.

#lando norris #f1 #formula 1 #mclaren #i've seen so many people be mad about this #and for what ??? #if he's been cleared of race then he can race #if he feels up to it #no one is forcing him to do anything #people need to stop jumping to conclusions #I get being worried for him #but he isn't doing anything he doesn't feel up to doing #don't care if people don't agree with me lol #Lando is my fave #and i never want to see him put himself at risk for anyone #but i think if he's made the decision to race #it's been done with good intent and not just to keep people happy #i think people just need to relax a little and wait and see what happens

Any thoughts on Rio's neighbor and her bebeanied gf???

Ooh! So I don't have a huge amount of thoughts about rio's neighbour (other than decent decor) who we (assumedly? 👀) never meet, but I'm obsessed with the gf!

The way riostopher in 3b is such an afterthought of a prospect for Beth to her is v amusing 😂 I choose to believe she thinks him EXTREMELY dull. Consider that she's a person hanging out inside wearing a beanie, and he's the patron idiot of hat choices, and yet he's still barely registered to her!! Outstanding writing/costuming choice 👌

PLUS the way that she's like 🤷🏼‍♀️😇 oh I don't even know if the building has a super, this is my gf's place, I'm just hanging out here by myself modelling my hats, BUT I can name everyone in the building yes and I CAN advise you on how best to break in to bits of it 😈 ddfghjjj like WHAT!

Obsessed with the level of chaos she's bringing, and how unfazed she is by Beth's story, and now in fact I'm wondering if SHE was also on a break in mission for her own random stalking side quest which Beth interrupted?! 👀 Maybe the gf was actually idk Diane or gale or ooh maybe that place is Judith's pied-à-terre?! 👀👀👀👀👀👀

#Like idk that if some rando turned up begging for intel on how to get into my ~neighbour's place I'd tell them?! ��😅😂 #I mean tbf I don't think I'd be much help we don't have fire escapes 😨 #(I'm more worried about my haunted plumbing flooding me anyway 😨😭👻) #And I'd probs assume they were a debt collector or something and wouldn't have answered in the first place #But yea she's way too eager to help sftgghjjhjj #Most logical explanation is she's rifling through her ~gf's place for some mcguffin of her own #And beth interrupted so she tried to style it out all calm and sweet #NAILED IT #Obsessed with the idea of rio & Judith as frenemy neighbours omg 😂😂😂 #📀📀📀 #Nbc good girls #TV #Hats! #Also I wanna see this Brian she immediately conclusion jumped to! 👀👀👀👀 #And how many damn brad brians were in this show?! More than Kevins?! Why are there only about 4 names in total???! #Also ty! 🥰

stop putting the cultural tutor on my dash please!!!!!

#this post isn't aimed at anyone in particular. loads of my mutuals have been reblogging this guy. so don't worry. #1) the screen name is the cultural tutor #2) the profile photo is a classical statue #3) all of his threads are about 'beauty being dead' and how things we better in the past #4) he follows a number of right-wing almost fash accounts on twitter (tbf ye might not know that) #he lies and cherrypicks his evidence all the time #*5) #6) he never gives a reason that the world is getting worse just 'lets you draw your own conclusions' #which for people on this website is usually capitalism #but for many of the fash that follow the account. it's the 'degeneracy of the modern age' #anyway these are all kind of sketchy on their own. and very dodgy when put all together

today I'm thinking about how I need these figures like I need the oxygen I breathe

#I just... I need them.... I love them..... oh my god #HE'S DOING THE ROLLED UP SLEEVE POSE I CAN'T HE'S SO FUCKING CUTE I'M GONNA DIE #HIS CUTE LITTLE ARMS HIS CUTE LITTLE HANDS HIS CUTE LITTLE SWORD I CAN'T #I need this figure so I can give him copious amounts of kisses on his huge forehead #and don't even get me started on the figure on the right.... don't even #I think I have a huge soft spot for this figure because it is the first officially licensed aki figure to ever be revealed #and so when I saw it I was literally... so happy #and I just love it so much #his blank face stare.... not a thought behind those eyes.... not one #just sitting there under the blanket like HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK COMFORTABLE WHAT IS HE DOING #in conclusion I will probably buy every single aki figure that releases because I am insane #when these figures come out I'll definitely have them and when I get them I'll post about them don't you worry #aki hayakawa

Will Emilio have a redemption arc? Or it already happened in the latest chapter?

Sort of?

Anyway, the only thing I can say for now is that Emilio's arc hasn't finished yet and you'll see more of his "bad side" again quite soon. And I already mentioned that Emilio's arc finishes by the moment when Valerio's past is revealed, so I just want to say that both Emilio and Valerio will learn a good lesson then.

#Ask me anything #Was Born To Lead #Valerio Álvarez #Emilio Serrano #I don't know how well I portray it but I just hope that nobody perceives Valerio as 'a hero' and Emilio as 'a villain' #Yes it was shown so at the beginning but as I kept writing I revealed Valerio's bad side and Emilio's good side too #So basically they both are supposed to make readers conflicted about them #And honestly at this point I'm a bit worried that I make Valerio way too unlikable now aijskendk #Especially after the next chapter when I finally write it #Akajjdkkd I don't know I'm probably just too narcissistic but both Valerio and Emilio are just so cleverly made characters I love them #And at this point I really don't want to say goodbye to Emilio but I'll have to #The conclusion of his story will be logical so I don't want to unnecessarily extend it #but he's got very special to me so yeah #You'll find me crying when I get to this chapter
